That may have been the most delusional comment you have ever read on Deadspin, but the same thought can be found in every die-hard Lakers fan. This separates people who bleed purple and gold from band-wagoners.

4 hours of driving distance from Los Angeles, assuming no traffic can get you to Santa Barbara, San Diego, Mexico, Las Vegas, San Jose, San Francisco. which covers more than 30 million people.

Kobe did played a few years at beginning of his NBA career with the hand checking rule.

Sometimes numbers don’t tell all the stories. If you have been watching basketball during the Jordan years, you would know that for a while, Jordan’s turnaround fade-away shot was almost as unstoppable as Kareem’s Sky Hook.

BTW, did you know there are 2 different endings to Infernal Affair? The better one is the one you saw in Cantonese, the worse one was shown in countries where good guys always have to win in the end and it is in Mandarin.

I enjoyed watching The Infernal Affair more because it is more subtle and more intelligent than the Departed.

Back in the days, NFL only allowed to recycle one black coach. Art Shell wins the position and then loses the team.
